HR rescinded candidate's job offer after assuring them multiple times they got the job, claiming upper management put the role on hold: ‘There is nothing I can do about it’

Until you physically start your first day at your new job, you should always keep yourself on high alert. Unfortunately, the job market these days teaches us that you should not rest until you have the job tightly in your grasp, and that doesn't happen until you step foot on your first day.

A job can fall between the cracks at so many points throughout the hiring process–whether it is during the countless interviews, the references, getting the offer letter, or signing the contracts. So many things can lead to the candidate remaining jobless; it's hard to keep track.

It is much better to manage expectations and lower your hopes when it comes to the job market. Better to be pleasantly surprised by waking up in the morning of your first job and realizing that you got it than to be devastated finding out it didn't work out, if you ask us.

That is the exact lesson the job candidate was forced to learn in the story below.

This candidate went through the whole hiring ordeal for a new job and was excited when they learned they got it. However, even after being assured multiple times that they got the job, HR rescinded the offer.
Safe to say the candidate was not happy to find that out. Keep scrolling to read the full story.
